Planning some fun at home this summer? Make sure your backyard is safe for all your favorite activities by using this summer safety checklist.

Pool safety
⁃ Never leave children unattended
⁃ Kids should never be alone in or near a pool (even if they know how to swim).
⁃ Teach children to swim
⁃ Sign your kids up for swimming lessons if you haven’t
⁃ Learn emergency skills
⁃ Young children should learn when to get help. Older children and adults should learn CPR and first aid.
⁃ Buy pool safety equipment
⁃ Keep a first-aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles nearby. Easy access to these items could be lifesaving.
⁃ Install a safety fence
⁃ Make sure your pool safety fence covers all pool sides and has self-closing gates. Also, install locks and alarms on doors with pool access.
⁃ Keep everyone in the know. Create and post safety rules and enforce them.

Trampoline safety
⁃ Add safety features
⁃ Make sure your trampoline has padding and netting. An enclosed trampoline can help prevent falls.
⁃ Maintain your trampoline. Inspect your trampoline regularly for missing pads, tears, exposed springs and other issues that could cause injury.
⁃ Enforce safety rules. Only one jumper at a time to reduce risk of injury.

Playground safety
⁃ Inspect your playground equipment regularly
⁃ Look out for protruding bolts, open hooks, broken ropes or rusted chains that could cause injuries. Replace equipment as needed.
⁃ Create a safe landing
⁃ Invest in soft-landing material like rubber tire chips or mulch to reduce or prevent injuries.
⁃ Teach playground rules
Having kids follow simple rules can contribute to playground safety and help avoid injuries.
⁃ Supervise young children at play
⁃ Keep a close eye on kids to reduce injuries and ensure your backyard safety expectations.

Review your home liability insurance limits
Even if you follow all these tips, accidents happen. Keep your liability insurance coverage updated (and consider adding an umbrella liability policy). If you add a pool, trampoline or playground to your yard, meet with your insurance agent to see if you need to increase your home liability coverage. Stay safe and have fun this summer!

Small business owners you're in good (and plentiful) company! Because, according to 2025 data*, there are 36.2 million small businesses, which makes up a staggering 99.9% of all U.S. businesses. You're truly the backbone of our national economy, and I thank you for it.

Winter is gone and spring has sprung, so now is a good time to check your property for any post-winter damage. Read on to find out how you can get your property in shape and avoid costly future damage with our spring home maintenance checklist:

1️⃣ Check your roof
Repair cracked or missing shingles and remove debris buildup, such as leaves and branches. If you have a newer roof or are planning to get a new roof, you may be eligible for a home insurance discount.

2️⃣Clean gutters and downspouts
Clear your gutters and downspouts of leaves and debris to help the spring rain flow freely from off your roof, reducing the chance of damage caused by a backup.

3️⃣ Check for other exterior damage
Repair torn window screens and weather stripping, cover holes and gaps where animals and bugs can get in and check the chimney for damage.

4️⃣ Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors’ batteries
These life-saving devices are a key deterrent for home fires, eliminating or reducing damage to your home.

5️⃣ Get a dehumidifier
If your basement is damp, you may have poor ventilation – a dehumidifier can help dry things up. If you have valuables in your basement, talk to your insurance agent about sump pump backup coverage.

❇️ Bonus tip: Check in with your insurance agent
Make sure you’re protected with proper home insurance before severe spring weather hits.

Completing the items on this home maintenance checklist can keep your property looking good and help you avoid future home insurance claims.

You never want to call one, but when a plumbing crisis happens, you’re glad you know a reliable one.

Plumbers are the unsung heroes of plumbing issues big and small, and I’m proud to help cover the gaps in their small business insurance coverage, so they can cover the pesky leaks in pipes all around town.

If you know the best plumber around, make sure to drop a comment to thank them in honor of National Hug a Plumber Day on April 25!

Every small business has its own unique personality, which is why you need custom insurance to protect all you have worked to achieve. Do you have the right protection for yours? Here’s what you should ask yourself.

• When was the last time you reviewed your policy with your current insurance carrier?
• If your business was destroyed, would your current insurance be enough to replace all your property, including your inventory?
• Will your current liability limits protect your assets in a lawsuit?
• How are your customers protected against credit card fraud?
• Do you have coverage that protects your customers' property when it's in your care?
• Do your subcontractors have certificates of insurance listing you as an additional insured?
• When was the last time you took a tool and materials inventory? Do you have proper coverage for those items?
• Do you need to protect your business for electronic data breaches?

We handle insurance and financial services for over 45,000 small businesses, and we’ve filled plenty of coverage gaps that help owners get back to doing what they do best – running their business.
